The trouble with the Interweb is it's fuller of spam than a bad prepackaged salad.

Email spam hit critical mass some years ago.

The Linked-in groups that I join are supposed to be a forum to share ideas, advertise jobs, network, seek advice - and it's also a spammers heaven to promote their get rich quick conferences, e-books and "webinars".

I get text messages from people trying to sell me discount services that are of no interest to me.

Do a google search for something and there's a good chance at least one of the links will take you to an irrelevant site that's just put that key word in their meta tags.

And now i see the peril of finally making one's blog vaguely public and searchable. Today I received my first post comment from a non-friend or family member. Some company selling designer shoes rammed in a senseless paragraph in which every second word was the brand name, underlined and hyperlinked.

My blog has been spammed.

Is this a good sign? Does this mean i'll soon be famous?
